First it was Elvis and Ricky Nelson ,so I sang as an 8 year old at my brothers teen parties. then round 63 or 2 he took me to a Kingston trio concert with new member, John Stewart. I was mesmerized, permanently scarred. that same summer before JFK got it, I met Long neck banjoist Hedy West. that was the first real banjo she let me pick on. -Hedy wrote 500 miles. that same summer I met a life guard in Lake George N.Y. who turned me on to Dylan,s frst album. Walla I discovered my purpose in life. So in the summer of 63 I started pickin a Sears and Robuck guitar and Kay banjo an Im still pickin.-------------------ps -Hedy didint have a long neck, her banjo had a long neck ---El Rastaaaaaa
